Definitions:

Fast Affiliate Ratings: These first national ratings, including demographics, are available at approximately 11 AM (ET) the day after telecast, and are released to subscribing customers daily. These data, from the National People Meter sample, are strictly time-period information, based on the normal broadcast network feed, and include all programming on the affiliated stations, sometimes including network programming, sometimes not. The figures may include stations that did not air the entire network feed, as well as local news breaks or cutaways for local coverage or other programming. Fast Affiliate ratings are not as useful for live programs and are likely to differ significantly from the final results, because the data reflect normal broadcast feed patterns. For example, with a World Series game, Fast Affiliate Ratings would include whatever aired from 8-11PM on affiliates in the Pacific Time Zone, following the live football game, but not game coverage that begins at 5PM PT. The same would be true of Presidential debates as well as live award shows and breaking news reports.

Rating: Estimated percentage of the universe of TV households (or other specified group) tuned to a program in the average minute. Ratings are expressed as a percent.

Share (of Audience): The percent of households (or persons) using television who are tuned to a specific program, station or network in a specific area at a specific time. (See also, Rating, which represents tuning or viewing as a percent of the entire population being measured.)

Time Shifted Viewing – Program ratings for national sources are produced in three streams of data – Live, Live+Same Day (Live+SD) and Live+7 Day. Time shifted figures account for incremental viewing that takes place with DVRs. Live+Same Day (Live+SD) include viewing during the same broadcast day as the original telecast, with a cut-off of 3:00AM local time when meters transmit daily viewing to Nielsen for processing. Live+7 Day ratings include incremental viewing that takes place during the 7 days following a telecast.

Your comment is one of those I just laugh out loud at. HFO was the number one ten pm show on any network last year. Not exatly ‘trending down since the start’. This season it has indeed trended down, but so have the other ten pm shows in general and CBS Mondays overall.

By all means lets discuss the show seriously but idiotic posts like yours are nothing more than brain dead trolling.

You are right again about H50. I wrote this before and I will repeat it, Peter Lenkov should be fired instantly as he made tons of creative mistakes and he seems to completely ignore the fan responses. I feel sorry for the cast and I will stick with the show for them, but I am sad that the numbers and quality of writting nose dived this season. CBS has left too much freedom for this arrogant douchebag Lenkov and we see what happened

Good numbers for The Following.

Funny thing is, I totally disagree with Blujays about H-50. I think other than last nights episode this season has been it’s best. I actually thought at times during the first season the show became too predictable and schmaltzy. The second season got better toward the end, and this season has been simply awesome. The storylines are more creative. There have been more tense moments, and the story line with Mom has been intriguing to say the least.

I agree that H50 is still a very good show, especially with the primary core four actors! Monday night’s episode was good, but 2 weeks ago, it was one of the best written, directed and acted episode for season 3! It was so emotional, riveting and exciting to watch! The comedies are not good lead in for a crime drama like H50! CBS simply needs to promote H50 more during the week. In fact, many of the 10 pm time slot dramas have similar ratings during the week on CBS, but have done better than other networks. H50 is one of my family’s favorite dramas on TV, which also include NCIS, NCIS: LA, Person of Interest, CSI, Elementary, Vegas and The Mentalist!

I wonder if FOX is having second thoughts/regarts about renewing Bones. The production costs must be very high and with
downward ratings……FOX must not be happy about another season.

Bones at one time was fresh and interesting……now it is stale and a soap opera.

Dude, CBS is only 4th in total viewers? Unbe-beeping-lievable.

How do two of the worst shows on tv, the voice and dancing with the stars have so many viewers
